Watch the Birdie

By
It's Make My Monday time again and the challenge to go with our Men and Boys theme is Birds/Animals. I have chosen Birds and I have used my gorgeous Young Vermillion stamp - take a look


I also used my Lovely as a Tree to make my background. The colours I have used are Chocolate Chip and Sage Shadow - my birdy is coloured with pencils.
There is a fabulous prize up for grabs this month and all the details are on the blog and while you are over there checking that out don't forget to check out all the other fantastic dt cards from my lovely team mates.
See you soon folks - I am rationed on the computer at the moment due to my lap top taking a trip to the shop to be mended, I have to be really nice to my hubby and bat my eyelids so I can borrow his!
Bye for now - Jacqueline xx

    I like the way you've stamped the background for this card and that bird is a really good stamp to have - great card.

    This is lovely Jacqeline! I love the Young Vermillion and he looks brilliant on your leafy background. Your comment about batting your eyelids at your hubby made me smile - I had a sudden vision of Jessica Rabbit! Vicky x

Beauty of the Deep

I do love my nature stamps and I also love stamps of the sea whether it be above or below the waves. I have taken possession of a new set from the catalogue called Beauty of the Deep. I have made a card with this set as it lends it's self perfectly to the the new Boho Blue In Colour. It also has a gorgeous little fish which I couldn't wait to use - take a look Although I've mostly used blue ink I had added white highlights with a gel pen and then to finish it off a little sparkly blue gem. Thanks for stopping by today - if you wish to place an order or request a catalogue please drop me a message at  jacquelinenm68@gmail.com

Starting the Year with a Christmas Card

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx

In The Frame.

Yesterday was birthday and my lovely husband bought me some crafting stash. Unfortunately he duplicated an ink pad (Distress Ink - Tea Dye) but the craft shop where he bought it were very kind and let me exchange it for something else. That something was a fab little Crafty Individuals stamp. So I raced home, turned my craft room upside down looking for my EZ Mount, and made this card for this week's Less is More  challenge. This week the girls wanted a one layer card with the theme 'In the Frame' Here is my card I made this by first masking off an area in the center of the card - directly on to a 5" x 5" white card blank. Then using my brayer I added some yellow, blue and green ink to the card. The masks were removed and the image was stamped over the brayered square. Thanks ladies for another fantastic challenge - Jacqueline xx.
